LIQUOR in IMPORTED PACKAGES.
The Supreme Courts Decision Not q Safe
Reliance for Rumsellers.

The Supreme Courts Decision Not Safe
Reliance for Rumsellers.
WASHINGTON, June lit is reported
here that there has been some excitement in
Maine over the fact that dealer has i'm
ported liquor in the original packages and
offered it for sale, and believes that in this
way he can defy the prohibition law Of that
state, and that this device is as old as 1647,
and was then passed upon by the United
States supreme court
The weight of the opinion was that so
long as the liquor was retained in the orig
inal packages it remained an article of COM
merce and could be imported; but the court
made a reservation. 1t was possible,
even then, that if state should decide that
it was unwholesome or injurious to the
health of its citizens that liquor should be
sold, the sale might be absolutely prohibited,
but to impose license upon it as long as it
was an article of interstate commerce was
to put an additional duty upon it and was
unconstitutional
The decision is SO much facing both
ways decision that the liquor dealers in the
prohibition states will incur great risks if
they venture to act upon the strength of it.
Moreover, it is to be noticed that even if the
decision does warrant the sale in imported
packages the law would give no protection
unless the packages should remain unbroken.
The internal revenue authorities say the
packages must contain twelve bottles, or
fourteen gallons, and must not be broken.

LIGHTING HoosAc TUNNEL.
An Attempt to Run Incandescent Electric
Lamps Throughout the Bore.


Lamps Throughout the Bore.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, June 15.-A corps
of men are attempting to light the Hoosac
tunnel by electricity. Manager Locke Of
the old state road tried the experiment
several times, but always without success
because of the extensive volume Of smoke
always in the tunnel. The Fitchburg COM
pany think they can remedy this SO far as
the smoke is concerned, but experience tie
same trouble in furnishing sufficient force
to conduct the circuit from the rear end to
the center. There is little over four
miles Of space to be covered and the power
is obtained, for the present, from water
power Of the Glen pulp mill at the east
portal Of the tunnel. The framework upon
which the electric lights hang are supported
by wedges Of bar iron driven into holes
drilled in the sides Of the rock. Incan-
descent lights are used, as arc lights are i'm
practicable because Of the dripping water.
It will require at least 400 lights, and if the
experiment is successful Hoosac tunnel will
be for the first time as bright as day, and
trains passing through will not be obliged
to carry lighted lamps in the day time. A
peculiar kind Of copper wire is being used
to carry the current SO long distance.
